I Want a Divorce Every Day, But the Superstar Says No-Chapter 60: Audition

Two days later.

The day of the audition for "Phoenix Road."

In the past two days, Quiana Sutton once again experienced what it meant to have a devil for an instructor.

When it came to acting, Durrell Landon was severe to the point of being outrageous, making her occasionally wonder if he was intentionally picking on her.

The building of the audition.

A number of popular actresses were here, and though everyone was originally chatting and laughing, upon seeing Quiana Sutton, they instantly fell silent, as quiet as cicadas in winter.

Quiana leaned casually against the wall, swept a faint glance over the crowd, and merely tugged her lips slightly, saying nothing. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Someone, unable to hold back, curiously asked:

"Why is she here too?"

Immediately, someone snidely responded:

"And why shouldn’t she be here? Who’s to say the lead actress isn’t her."

"Even if her musical talent is a once-in-a-century occurrence, writing so many hit songs for Axius Somerville doesn’t mean her acting skills are any good."

After that, someone gave Chloe Summers a jealous glance.

"Exactly, if you ask me, the most suitable person for the lead among us is Chloe. Great acting skills, and a perfect image, Director Fang will surely be pleased. We’d be content just to land the second lead role."

Hearing this, Chloe Summers was naturally pleased. Even if she felt disdainful towards them, she didn’t show it, saying humbly:

"Oh, come on, we’re all competing on our merits."

Next to them, Iris Melrose and Ella Shaw stayed silent.

They were quite unconvinced, since Director Fang was renowned for being strict and possessed a hint of a famous director’s genius and arrogance, with very high standards. To them, Chloe was nothing special, so where did her confidence that she would be the lead come from?

They, too, had dedicated all their efforts for the lead role, doing a lot of homework, not worse than Chloe in the least.

Soon, the auditions began.

The actresses entered with smiles, but left in tears.

That’s because other than being exceptionally talented, Director Fang was also known for his sharp tongue.

Even outside, you could hear his roars—

"Is that acting? Even a dog would act more lively than you."

"Are you playing a courtesan? The lead is a Demon Realm princess, not a brothel courtesan. No need to sell smiles."

"Are you a third-level cripple? You can’t even complete simple martial arts moves?"

...

The actresses outside listening to Director Fang’s roars trembled a bit, and those who had some confidence were now flustered and frequently made mistakes due to his shouting.

The worse they acted, the nastier Director Fang’s temper became.

Chloe Summers, however, didn’t mind. The worse others acted, the more it highlighted her exceptional performance.

When it was her turn and she finished performing, Director Fang, although expressionless, didn’t scold her. After she came out, all the actresses there looked at Chloe in admiration.

"Chloe, you’re amazing. You’re the only one among us who wasn’t scolded."

"Looks like the lead role is definitely yours."

Chloe still feigned humility: "Oh no, oh no, there’s still one more who hasn’t gone in for the audition yet."

After she spoke, she glanced subtly at Quiana Sutton standing afar, hiding her deep disdain though not completely.

After hearing this, everyone gave Quiana a meaningful look.

In their view, comparing Quiana to Chloe was an insult to Chloe.

After Quiana went inside, the assistant director asked:

"What is your name?"

"Quiana Sutton."

Upon hearing it was Quiana, Director Fang couldn’t help but take another look.

His ideal male lead candidate was Durrell Landon, whom he had approached multiple times but was always refused.

However, he suddenly received a call from Mr. Landon yesterday, saying if Quiana Sutton was the lead actress, he would agree to be the male lead.

The name Quiana Sutton had appeared online quite frequently lately, leaving an impression on him. After receiving the call, he curiously looked up some of her works and was almost left speechless.

After watching Quiana’s works, he was caught in a huge internal struggle.

On one hand, he wanted Durrell Landon as the male lead, but the condition was having Quiana as the female lead and her acting skills didn’t warrant confidence.

If he really chose Quiana as the lead, it would completely ruin his reputation.

This was part of the reason why he was in such a foul mood today, sparing no mercy in his yelling.

Luckily, his usual high standards meant the assistant director and others suspected nothing.

Although he didn’t think Quiana’s acting could improve qualitatively in such a short time, he still spoke casually: "Miss Sutton, you may begin."

He randomly pointed at a section.

It was a scene where the lead, Phoenix, was imprisoned by King Michael of the Gods, Alexander Knight, in the Sunset Underworld, making it impossible for them to be together through lifetimes.

Once the director said start, Quiana’s gaze changed, replaced by a scorching look brimming with both extreme love and extreme hatred.

Initially, Phoenix was heartless and soulless, solely focused on freeing the Demon Realm from hell and seduced King Michael, but in the process, she ended up losing her own heart, causing the Demon Realm to be sealed in the Sunset Underworld, never to come out again.

Director Fang had been indifferent, but upon seeing Quiana’s gaze, he was stunned, the pen he was playing with falling onto the table.

In truth, her acting was always quite decent. After all, her grandfather had whimsically forced her to imitate everything about her brother when he wanted to see him.

Over time, she almost forgot what it truly meant to be herself.

While acting, she was more afraid of bringing too much real emotion in, leading her to lose herself once more.

But Durrell Landon had told her something—

Even if one day you become someone else, I will find the real you again.

Though she still sneered at his words, it inexplicably gave her the courage to go all out.

After her performance ended, she retracted her gaze, looking coolly at Director Fang, "I’m finished."

It wasn’t until she spoke that Director Fang returned to his senses.

Only now did he understand the true meaning behind Mr. Landon’s words, "As long as you choose Quiana, there will be unexpected surprises."

Director Fang, at this moment, was incredibly excited:

"Miss Sutton, the lead role undoubtedly belongs to you."

More importantly, with Quiana as the lead actress, he could invite Durrell Landon for the male lead.

Since Director Fang had made the decision, the others naturally had no objections. Besides, they had witnessed Quiana’s portrayal of Phoenix, which indeed matched the character perfectly.

After the audition, the assistant director came out to announce the results.

The choice for the lead role was finalized: Quiana Sutton.

As soon as this announcement came, everyone present had their eyes glued to Quiana.

There was reluctance, curiosity, jealousy, envy, and even some malicious glances passing through...

But not a single voice spoke out congratulations.
